ABSTRACT
Mobile computing is evolving at a rapid pace with 802.11 networks; the fuzzy boundaries make it easy for intruders to intercept the radio signals. War driving was performed along highways; the resulting packet analysis is explained to show how easy some security attacks can be. An elaboration is done on a host of wireless security attacks that leads to the discussion of secure wireless network design, along with some network security simulation. The paper concludes with a list of security recommendations.
Notes
1There appears to be no legal sanctions in the author's country that makes interception of wireless signals illegal.
2It is unfortunate that the header of the wireless packets can reveal some interesting information, as it is transmitted in the clear.
